Yeah. It was made expressly for that purpose. It's "common" name ::Sato motioned with her fingers as quotation marks:: is RC-6. It's illegal to make in most allied territories. I hear that the Zonoans can't even drink it. That the mere thought of it makes them ill. Not from the drink itself, but from the memory.
::Sato tipped back the glass, and swallowed the concoction in one gulp::

:::Kal did not seem as much impressed as he did unsettled:::
Then maybe it's not all that good for you... I'm no expert, but I think the horrible smell of burning death is a clue.

Well, to each their own. So what were you doing before this place RIPPED you from your life?

:::he tried not to make a face while speaking and avoiding inhaling the smell anymore:::
Well, I was in a bit of a debate about the best action for a wider range of biogenetic enhanced area where we grow our produce... we still don't have enough evidence that our plants will flourish in a semi-controlled environment.

Oh...that so?
:::he gave a little hint of surprise:::
I didn't take you to be an agriculturalist. Got any advice on desert environment and limited resources?

I'm a soldier, not a scientist. But my advice would be to find somewhere else to grow food. Or find someone else who has food, resources, and fertile land, and take it.

There is no other land... and there are no other resources....

You don't seem to be too bad off. What the hell happened?

:::Kal wonders for a moment if he's supposed to be telling Sato the future of the earth. Well, future to Sato, past to him:::
Hm... I'm not sure I'm supposed to tell you...but I don't think you'll be around to see it anyway... I live in an oasis... as far as we know, the last oasis. The rest of the earth is a desert.

Heh. Figures. I wonder which side blows the place to kingdom come.
::Sato sighs::
A little ironic, isn't it? Two sides fighting over who gets to control earth and earth ends up being a casualty. That's war, though.

ironic...? horrendous is more like it. I've seen the earth from a thousand years ago. It used to be beautiful. Now it's just a hot, pissed off rock floating in space, with the last few humans baking.

::Sato shook her head::
Well, you probably have us to blame for it. Sorry 'bout that.

You sure you don't want some... uh..... I forgot your name, stud

:::he sighed, his shoulders slumped. Not really because this was the third time he was telling Sato his name, but because he was damn tired of being so worked up about everything:::
It's Kal... and thanks again, I'll pass.
